CI commands
Caution
Loss of data.
The Command Interpreter (CI) includes commands which
reorganise or delete parts of the memory. Existing data are
thereby destroyed:
•
It is preferable to use the FCT or the control panel for
commissioning and parameterisation.
•
Use the CI commands only in special applications which
require direct access to the controller.
•
Use CI commands only if you already know their effects
and if they are permissible for your MTR-DCI.
Access procedure
The higher-order controller sends the controller either a write
command (WRITE) to modify a parameter in the object direc-
tory, or a read command (READ) to read out a parameter.
For each command the higher-order controller receives a
response which either contains the value read or, in the case
of a write command, serves as an acknowledgement. The
transmitted value (1, 2 or 4 data bytes) depends on the data
type of the object to be read or written.
WRITE (W)
Write commands (W) transfer a value in the specified format
to the MTR-DCI. As a reply, write commands will be reflected
exactly character by character from the controller of the
MTR-DCI. A checksum
READ (R)
Read commands (R) transfer a value from the MTR-DCI. The
reply from the MRE-DCI controller contains the downloaded
value. A checksum
All commands are entered as a character sequence without
any empty spaces. A hex character is a Char character in hex
format.
